AMETICA FOR AMERICANS.

Know Nothingism to be Revived in 1885
To be Pr ned of its Objectional Feat
ures.
NEW YORK, August 22.-The Philadelphia
Press this morning says the old war of the
know nothing party, america for Amer
icans," will again be raised in the presidential
campaign of 1888. The new party comes
forth like Lazarus from the tomb of old.
The projectors of the renewed movement
say, however, that the know nothing move
ment never was dead, and that with certain
Objectionable feature topped off it still lives.
During the celebration of the constitutional
centennial in this city preparatory conven-
ton will be held at which delegates for thirty
eight states will be present. A call for this
convention has already been drafted by q
body known as the American national COM
mittee composed of some twenty or thirty
men. Although this committee has been
working very quietly, they have been for
over year in active correspondence with
more or less prominent people throughout
the country, and have laid the foundation
for solid party organization. They claim
among their number over 500, COO persons,
members of societies whose purpose is to in
culcate purely American ideas, some of
which are survival of some
of the know nothing organizations
of 1874. General Masterworkman
Powderly is prominent member of the new
party and has given utterances more than
once to the principles this new party pro-
poses to stand on. These principles all start
from one central idea, restriction of immi-
grafton. The September convention will
devote itself to formulating scheme to eff
feet thorough organization OF state, county
and township committees and will call
convention to be held next july, probably in
this city, when candidates for president and
vice president and state ticket will be put in
the field.

a cigar with relish and seemed to enjoy the
situation. That is why he was arrested. His
wife appeared crazed. Bailey says she has
had ''spells," and says she has been growing
worse since he brought her from Chicago,
two years ago. She Will recover. The in
fant's death is a mystery and circumstances

derer,

Good Advice to southern Farme,,

ATLANTA, Ga, August 18-At the Georgia
farmers convention to-hay, Colonel Fish
back, of Arkansas, delivered an Interesting
address. He proved that it was necessary
for farmers to be independent of negro HELM.
and that they should teach their sons To-
work, instead of having the boys sitting
around corner groceries.
Before the convention adjourned it took
important action on two questions. The
first was as to a permanent organization.
Hon. Polk, of North Carolina, reported :
constitution and by laws which were adopted.
The body is to be known as the Interstate
Farmers association. The next meeting Is
to be held at Raleigh, North Carolina. Per-
manent officers were elected.

Missouri Pacific Shops to.Remain at Atch-
isOn.

1SOn. -
ATCMsoN, KAN, August 1S.-There is no
truth in the statement published in the Kan
sas City Times, to the effect that the .Missou-
ri Pacific shops and the legal department of
the Central division are to be removed from
Atchison to Kansas City. An official of the
company, who is in position to know, au-
thorizes the statement that the question Of
the erection of new shops here is Atilf in the
hands of the mayor and citizenssof Atchi-
son. The tax payers voted 100000
for that purpose, and the drawings and speci-
tcations were submitted to the mayor Aug
ust 6; The delay is occasioned by a desire
on the part of the council to ascertain
whether or not the plans fulfill the promises
made by that company prior to the bond
election. For this purpose committee of
the council has been appointed and con-
ference is now pending between the mayor
and the railroad officials, and there is no
doubt that there is perfect understanding
between the railroad company and the city.
A large force of men and teams are now en-
gagged in grading for the shops and material
il daily arriving.
